Whether Luo Chuan wants to admit it or not, he is in a dilemma at this time.

On the one hand, at this time, the garrison strength of the county government was at its weakest compared to the previous month or so.

Although Liu Ping is the village chief of Anle Village, he is just an ordinary person after all, so he is simply imprisoned in the prison of the county government.

If Luo Chuan wants to rescue Liu Ping by himself, it is a simple matter.

But on the other hand, whether Luo Chuan can save Liu Ping from prison is one thing, and whether he can send him out of the county government and guarantee his life is another.

Is Luo Chuan sure to forcibly break through the door from the county government and leave?

Yes.

Provided that he is alone.

If you add Chen Ping, Chen Anhu, and even Tong Hua, this possibility will be infinitely reduced to zero.

And Luo Chuan must think more comprehensively.

For example, even if you leave the county government, what will happen after that?

Luo Chuan has the ability to protect Chen Ping and Chen Anhu for a while, but he can't protect them for a lifetime.

Even the entire Qionghai Sword Sect may be implicated by Luo Chuan.

Therefore, Luo Chuan could not entrust the two of them to Xu Congbing.

It's a dead end.

Regardless of whether Luo Chuan chooses to save Chen Ping or not, the result will not change much.

Unless, Luo Chuan handed himself over to Kui Xing Pavilion.

So, will he do it?

Of course not.

So Luo Chuan had to think of an individual way to come out.

With the help of Feng Yuan, Luo Chuan first settled Xu Xiang and Chen Anhu temporarily, and got the waist card belonging to Kuixing Pavilion.

Although it is the waist card of the outer gate of the Qingshui Palace, it also belongs to the Kuixing Pavilion.

Then he left Tongxin Hall alone and came to the gate of the county government's prison.

"I want to interrogate the prisoner Chen Ping. ”

Luo Chuan only said this sentence, shook his waist card with his hand, and was respectfully invited into the door of the cell, and then it took less than a hundred breaths for a figure that had been tortured to kneel in front of him.

Chen Ping didn't see Luo Chuan, otherwise he might have shouted excitedly because he was already blind.

In fact, Chen Ping couldn't shout because he was dying.

Luo Chuan looked at Chen Ping, who had no intact skin on his body, his limbs were broken, his face was ruined, and his bones were broken, and his eyes did not fluctuate.

He waved his hand and motioned for the jailer to leave, then stood up and looked at Chen Ping's injuries.

There are whip marks, knife wounds, fist marks, pinholes, ......

And so on.

However, Chen Ping is still alive.

It's really remarkable.

Kui Xing Pavilion's methods are remarkable.

Maybe it's because the people of Qingshui Hall fed him some elixir to hang his life.

Luo Chuan tried his best to calm his emotions and asked in a low voice, "Village Chief." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ping struggled weakly, and his body began to tremble slightly, he should have recognized Luo Chuan's voice.

But Chen Ping couldn't respond, so Luo Chuan continued: "I'm sorry to drag you and the entire Anle Village down, today, the people from Kuixing Pavilion and the Praetorian Guard have gone to Anle Village, I don't know what will happen next, but I think Chen Yong and them, maybe ......"

Luo Chuan didn't finish his words, but he believed that Chen Ping had understood what he meant.

"If you want, I can get you out, and I can heal your injuries, but I can't guarantee that you won't be killed by the people of the Kuixing Pavilion afterwards...... Caught. ”

Luo Chuan did not hide it, and directly told Chen Ping about the situation in front of him.

Chen Ping's chest rose and fell violently, and he struggled for a long time, and finally squeezed two words out of his throat.

"Ayung ......"

Luo Chuan sighed secretly, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, even if I want to save him now, it's too late." ”

So two lines of blood flowed out of the corners of the old man's eyes, which had been dry, again.

The next moment, Chen Ping seemed to have suddenly regained some strength, and he raised his head suddenly, in the direction where Luo Chuan was standing, and then smashed his head to the ground.

Luo Chuan stretched out his hand as if reflexively.

If he wanted to, he could easily stop Chen Ping, just like the people of Kui Xing Pavilion had done countless times before.

But in the end, Luo Chuan extinguished the starlight on his fingertips and turned his head slightly.

"Bang! bang!"

Chen Ping exhausted his last strength, kowtowed to Luo Chuan three times, didn't say a word, and then lost his breath.

A trace of residual blood splashed on Luo Chuan's boots, which were gifts from the villagers of Anle Village during the Chinese New Year.

Luo Chuan looked down at his boots, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, then turned around and walked out of the torture room with his head down.

"Your Excellency. ”

The prison officer was smirking and bowing his head.

And Luo Chuan just said lightly: "If the person is dead, don't worry, our Kuixing Pavilion will be responsible." ”

"Yes, yes......" The prison officer swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently, and once again glanced at the sign hanging on Luo Chuan's waist with his spare eyes, and then regained his heart.

So next, Luo Chuan successfully returned to Tongxin Hall.

Not in the slightest.

He still couldn't save Chen Ping's life.

I can't keep Chen Yong or Xiao Cui'er if I want to come.

But he wanted to keep Chen Anhu.

It's a bit hard.

Kui Xing Pavilion's waist card allowed him to enter and exit the county prison freely, but it could not allow him to get out of the city gate smoothly.

Of course, Luo Chuan can also go to Fengyuan and let the other party forcibly break into the door with him under the pretext of taking Tong Hua away.

But Luo Chuan didn't think that Fengyuan would put pressure on his future and future for the sake of Tonghua.

Defecting to Kuixing Pavilion, in the Tang Empire, is almost equivalent to suicide.

Otherwise, Fengyuan would have saved Tonghua from the dire situation.

His willingness to stand on the opposite side of Yu Qing for the sake of Tong Hua is already the last limit.

Originally, in Luo Chuan's plan, he planned to secretly recruit Feng Yuan to deal with Yu Qing together, create internal strife at the outer gate of the Qingshui Palace, and then take advantage of the situation to gain a firm foothold in the Qingshui Palace, and strive to use his talent in alchemy to enter the inner gate as soon as possible, seek suitable grass and wood materials, and repair the damage of his Xinghai.

It's a very long-term plan.

Even in the most optimistic terms, it will take at least two years.

The good thing is that during the long journey of cultivation, the most important thing is time.

What Luo Chuan has is patience.

But now this plan doesn't work.

Because plans can never keep up with change.

The Kui Xing Pavilion and the Praetorian Guards had already gone to Anle Village, and when they couldn't find Luo Chuan, they might raze the entire village to the ground, and more importantly, Yu Qing would probably recall the disciples he had just taken in.

Then for the sake of prudence, Yu Qing would go to the people of the Qionghai Sword Sect to question, and learned that Luo Chuan was still a casual cultivator before he met his half-pillar incense.

One, the loose cultivation of alchemy.

Then things are simple.

Regardless of whether Luo Chuan is the so-called Liang spy or not, Yu Qing will target him.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, maybe Yu Qing won't be suspicious, maybe Xu Congbing will protect Luo Chuan because of Kui Xingge's domineering, or maybe Yu Qing doesn't think that Luo Chuan is the big Liang spy at all.

There are so many variables.

But Luo Chuan must prepare for the worst.

Based on Chen Ping's death.

Even if all the above hypothetical situations did not appear, Yu Qing did not suspect Luo Chuan, but when he learned that Chen Ping was dead and the last person to contact Chen Ping was Luo Chuan, all the truth would eventually be revealed.

So in fact, there is only one road in front of Luo Chuan now.

Leave the county as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the Kuixing Pavilion and the Praetorian Guards returned to the city, he would have no room at all.

But it's one thing to walk or not, it's another thing to go.

Therefore, Luo Chuan found Fengyuan again.

"Star Stone?" Feng Yuan looked a little surprised after listening to Luo Chuan's request.

Luo Chuan nodded helplessly: "I'll borrow you." ”

"Well, that's fine. Feng Yuan didn't ask Luo Chuan what he was doing with the Star Stone, because the number was not large.

As a six-grade Dan master, Feng Yuan may not be so rich, but he is definitely not short of money, so he just casually groped in his arms for a while, and then took out two medium-grade star stones and handed them to Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan thanked him, and then left Tongxin Hall again with the star stone.

He didn't plan to use the money to bribe the guards at the city gate, first of all, this little star stone was definitely not enough, and secondly, I am afraid that no guard would dare to accept it.

One of the biggest purposes for Luo Chuan to borrow star stones from Fengyuan is to compare.

Compare whether there is a difference between the star stones of Datang and Daliang, and if so, the difference is not big.

So Luo Chuan finally got the first good news after he came to the county government.

The two star stones that Feng Yuan gave him were no different from those in his mountain and sea pots.

That's enough.

So Luo Chuan turned over his hand and put it back in the pot, and paced to the door of a large mansion in the east of the county capital.

There was a family guard at the door, and he cast a questioning look at Luo Chuan.

Luo Chuan didn't speak, and concocted the same method again, and took out the waist card of Kuixing Pavilion.

So the door opened, and the family trotted in to report.

After a while, an old man came to Luo Chuan's side respectfully, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if the adults are coming, I hope the adults will not be surprised." ”

Luo Chuan held the teacup, nodded and said, "You are the judge of the county government, Qiu Guangjing?"

The old man lowered his posture: "It's the villain." ”

Luo Chuan smiled and said, "Lord Qiu doesn't have to be restrained, sit, sit." By the way, I heard that Ling Gongzi is also practicing in my Kuixing Pavilion?"

As soon as Qiu Guangjing sat down, hearing this, he immediately straightened his back and replied truthfully: "A few days ago, Xiao'er got some immortal fate, and he happened to be valued by the Grass Seed Hall of your pavilion, and now he is studying with Master Zhang in Nanzhou. ”

"Hmm......" Luo Chuan pondered for a moment, and then said: "I also heard that Ling Gongzi used to have a maid, called, Xiao Cui'er, right?"

Hearing this, Qiu Guangjing was immediately stunned, and then responded: "That's right." ”

Seeing that Qiu Guangjing confessed, the smile on Luo Chuan's face became deeper and deeper: "Then do you know that the traitor that my pavilion wants to arrest this time is hiding in Anle Village, where Xiao Cui'er is located?"

Before the words fell, Qiu Guangjing's face turned white, and then he quickly stood up and said again and again: "The villain doesn't know, the villain really doesn't know!"

However, Luo Chuan did not estimate the old man's sincerity, but continued to laugh and said: "Harboring rebellion, but it is necessary to connect the nine clans." ”

With a plop, Qiu Guangjing knelt down.

"Please save me, save me!"

Luo Chuan leaned forward, looked at Qiu Guangjing with a frightened face, and said, "Lord Qiu is serious, you can save it, but you have to help me do one thing first......
